The Overflowing Tank

This was the most beautiful sump I've ever seen!

 

Switching Linear Flow Tank

This is a motorize ball valve that switched the flow from one side of the tank to the other, set to change once per minute.

 

New England Aquarium Chilled Tank

This is a touch tank, where children could learn and feel the creatures on display.

This immense circular tank was circled with a walking path, allowing viewers to enjoy the tank from many windows.

The room was pretty dark, and this is how it looked normally. No flash.

Taking pictures of jelly fish is much harder than I imagined. This was the best shot. The red dots are Cyclop-Eeze.

Penguins greeted visitors as soon as they entered the main building.

This beautiful Yellow Tang was fat & happy in its reef tank.

This is a bubble being formed on a coral. Eric Borneman discussed this occurance, and that evening we saw it in person.

Once the bubble has grown large enough, it drips off the colony, to form a new one.

This dripping methods occurs in an act of self-fragging.

This cold-water starfish has way too many legs!

I love Tiger Cowries.

The cuttlefish tank was very interesting, but my pictures really came out poorly.

We didn't stay, as it was a two hour wait. :(
